To celebrate Canadian trans women poets’ work and creativity, the Feminist Caucus (FC) of the League of Canadian Poets will feature poets Trish Salah and Jennifer Wenn during April, the National Poetry Month. The event will include poetry readings and a short panel, followed by a dialogue with the audience.
To support all emerging and professional writers, a limited number of open-mic spots (3 minutes each) is available to all poets who self-identity as trans women and would like to share their work and volunteer their time. If interested, please submit three poems and a two-line bio, which would be published on Eventbrite and social media, to Dr. Diana Manole at dianamanole@trentu.ca, the FC Chair, by 15 April 2023. We look forward to reading your poems!
